About this ebook
Jake Maddox
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

Kayla rolled her eyes.
Coach is just trying to get us ready for the meet with the Newton Twisters tomorrow,
Chandra said, pulling her hair into a tight ponytail. Everyone keeps messing up. Except for you, of course.
Chandra grinned at her friend. I only wish my landings could look like yours, Miss Regional Gymnastics Champion 2010,
she said. You’re the best gymnast here.
Kayla smiled a little. Hey, I can’t help being awesome,
she said, laughing.
Chandra didn’t laugh back. Instead, she just stared at Kayla for a moment. Then she shook her head and got up to join the other gymnasts at the vault.
Kayla slowly trailed to the end of the line. I don’t need to practice, Kayla thought. My landings are always perfect.
She eyed Coach Steele. He was showing Madeline how to keep her back perfectly straight. Quietly, Kayla
